Former CNN host Don Lemon had an epic meltdown after Donald Trump was picked as TIME’s Person of the Year. On his TikTok, he raged and asked the magazine what its defense would be to its women readers after conferring Trump with the honor. “If they wanted to make someone Person of the Year, I don’t know, they could’ve done it with any person. They could have done it to someone who actually stood for democracy, who stands for democracy in the country,” Lemon said.
“Time Magazine, what are you doing? Let me ask you, Time Magazine, what would you say to those women who I guess still read Time Magazine?” Lemon asked.
“You have someone on the cover of your magazine who is an adjudicated assaulter,” he continued. “You have someone who inspired an insurrection. We have someone who, without a doubt, the evidence is there, tried to overturn a free and fair election. You had someone who had multiple criminal accounts and was found guilty on multiple criminal counts. And you name them Person of The Year.”
“Is this a joke? Did we get something wrong? Did someone scam us? Are we sure about this, producers? There is a convicted felon on the cover of Time Magazine as the Person of the Year. Maybe we’re being scammed. Did someone put out a fake tweet or something about this? I don’t know,” Lemon continued his tirade against both Trump and the TIME.
MAGA supporters asked who Don Lemon is to rage against Donald Trump and spread “misinformation”.
“Don “the joke” Lemon. Does anyone really care what he thinks?” one user wrote.
“Does anyone actually care about what Don Lemon thinks?” another wrote.
Donald Trump has been named the magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ for the second time after 2016 and Trump celebrated the occasion by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
